Lake Champlain Plattsburgh, NY Shirt

About This Shirt

There is a lot to see when visiting the great state of New York. You can visit the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty in the busy and beautiful New York City. You can catch the Sabers take the ice, grab some wings, and watch the Bills hit the field in Buffalo, New York. However, no trip to the Empire State would be complete without a visit to Plattsburg, New York to visit Lake Champlain. A rich history surrounds this great lake that stretches from New York into Canada. It was the site where the Battle of Plattsburgh occurred, thus ending the final English invasion of America (well, until 1963) in the War of 1812. This noble battle also denied the British access to and control of the Great Lakes. However, if it is history you are looking for in Plattsburgh, look no further than the mysterious and elusive lake monster that slithers just beneath the tranquil surface of Lake Champlain, Champ. Seen by Samuel de Champlain in 1609, countless Native Americans, and many visitors since, this mythical wonder still captivates the interest of tourists and townspeople to this day. Champ is a wonder that certainly could have been born in the pages of novels by Jules Verne, Herman Mellville, and Peter Benchley, but it lives in placid Plattsburgh. This beast is just as mystifying and terrifying as the Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo, the Kraken, and the Leviathan. So get your sea legs ready, get this great tee shirt from Strange Cargo, and set sail for adventure in Plattsburgh, New York to find this bone-chilling sea monster.
